Synopsis
Excerpt from How It Is Made: Describing in Simple Language How Various Machines and Many Articles in Common Use Are Manufactured From the Raw Materials
IN a primitive society every person of sufficient age is primarily a worker with his or her hands. As a nation develops, not only do head work and hand work become more and more distinct, but occupations of all kinds tend to run in narrower grooves. Competition now forces us to pay great respect to the proverb, Let the shoemaker stick to his last and it has come about that the majority of even well-educated people in industrial countries are largely ignorant of the processes by which articles in common use are manufactured. It must be admitted, nevertheless, that this ignorance results from circumstances rather than from choice; for in any exhibition where something is being made visitors cluster round to watch the creation even of an article which may'not be at all interesting in itself. The visitors' book of any large factory that Opens its doors to the public, and is within easy reach of large centres of popula tion, reveals the same desire for information.
